Montessori Philosophy

Dr. Montessori believed that each individual human being has an innate unique talent which, when fulfilled, is the individual’s essential contribution to life and the human community on this planet. To discover his or her unique talent, each child needs to be exposed to experiences pertaining to all facets of life. To this end, Dr. Montessori designed manipulative materials for all subject areas; activities which children experience sensorially and interactively in a multi-age classroom setting. Freedom within limits leads children to responsible choices, self discipline, and high self-esteem.
